Thanks for posting another great video. Always enjoy them.
An another note, cluster you rebuilt over a year ago working fantastic still! Adding trans temp was an awesome idea.
after watch this video, learned that how to soldier i had a plug soldier came loose and causing issue. after removing the unit. removed soldier 24 pins, cleaned and soldier pins back in place. tested on my truck and works great. thanks to Jeff for doing a great video’s on how to do it. learned how to.
Great work Jeff. For the oil, I've used Lucas Oil Treatment for years on my rebuilds. It's synthetic so little/no chance of petroleum breaking down the plastic over time and is VERY thick/stringy.
Thick and stringy is exactly what these need. Sounds like a good match.
So much info , I am a customer but continue just enjoying watching you work and learning tips and tricks. My cluster is still working great!
Thanks for the video! I see a lot info on 03-on, but very little for my "antique" 02, very helpful!
excellent video, thank you
Thanks for the video, I own a 02 and hope I never need the info but, if I do it’s here.
Thanks! Jeff😊
I know this video is an older one, but hoping to find out if there are any gauge motors that are the same as the transmission temp gauge that I can steal from a different cluster?
Almost wonder if that Lucas Transmission fix stuff would work great? Its crazy thick.
I run a surface mount repair business but lack the test gear for doing these. I would love to expand my business.
👍👍👍
Great video.. One quick question what size is that soldering spatula tip you used to take off the display? I know it's T12 IS IT A 1402, 1403 ect?
The 1403 is just a little too short, fits but doesn't overlap the outside pins at all. I usually use the 1404. Has some overlap on both sides.
Regarding the grease/oil - would a silicone based plumbing grease be a suitable option (available in hardware stores)? Or perhaps the silicone oil used in radiator fan clutch hubs may also be a suitable option as well...
I haven't tried that particular grease. But if you can get it to push through a syringe and pass the needle shaft that should work.
@@jeffescortlx This is liquid Silicon I use in a syringe to apply it like you.

Really appreciate your series on fixing these clusters! I have a '00 Silverado and been looking into refurbishing the cluster in it for some time now. The oil pressure, voltage and fuel gauges are flaky, often jumping around as I hit bumps. When I tap on the cluster by that gauge, it bounces back into place and gives a semi-accurate reading again. Very good to know about topping off the damper oil, definitely going to try that and see if it helps.
Here's my question, though. The VFD and LCD still function after all these years, but the LCD itself is starting to develop "spider cracks", like it's de-laminating from years of heat. The needles are badly faded too, due to 23 years of Florida sun and heat baking the thing. Would I be better off finding another cluster altogether, or can I find an aftermarket replacement LCD and set of needles for it?
More than likely the face is also badly sunfaded, and sometimes I even see the plastic bezel section of the lens start to warp and change shape from hot climates. If you could find a fresh cluster that wouldn't be a terrible idea.
@@jeffescortlx I was thinking of buying a used one off of eBay that’s in good cosmetic condition but has a bad VFD. All the ones in my local junkyards have the same exact problem as mine.
What is in that syringe that you put on the board before you soldered it? What does it do?
It's flux. It helps make nice solder joints.
Is that just a regular lock syringe used to push the oil in?
Regular cheap syringe from Amazon.
I have an 88 Ford Mustang with a 90s instrument cluster. It has a common problem with bouncing needles and inaccurate readings. Do you service old Mustang instrument clusters?
Sorry I'm not setup for that one.
Is there a way to change the color of the display screen lighting from green?
Color transparency film.
What could cause the trip odometer to reset back to zero when the car is turned
off on. 99-02 Silverado cluster
Eeprom issue
My '01's tach acts weird. If works fine as I'm accelerating, but once I get to a steady speed, it settles at roughly 1500 rpm and stays there. I could floor it at 35, and it doesn't move. If I slow down, it will start working again, just before I come to a stop. Seems like the second to first downshift will cause it to snap out of it. Then it will work normally again, until I hit a steady speed.
One more mystery of "how the heck does that thing work?", solved!
how about 99-02 that when it comes on goes to counter trip. you have to push button to go back to miles every time truck turns on?? any ideas?
Yeah Matt on the channel fixed until broken covered this on one of his older videos. It's just some weird address location value stored in the eeprom.
What solder and flux do you recommend? Do you sell these or mind to share where to buy?
No clean lead solder 63/37. Amtech 559 flux sold by Louis Rossman group.
I have a 98 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado, and am wondering how much you'd charge to replace all the stepper motors in my gauge cluster. My fuel gauge seems like it doesn't read correctly and I have a brand new fuel pump in my truck with a new sending unit.
The air core motor used in those clusters are not available, been discontinued for, 15 years maybe longer. I don't offer services on mechanical odometer style clusters. Two different sending unit values were used in that body, make sure your sending unit matches your gauge.
@@jeffescortlx The reason I think the gauge is not reading right is that it has twitch or flutter to it. I'm not sure if there is a way to fix that now that the stepper motors are discontinued.
@@Draco5185 you can do the exact same thing done in this video to fix the fludder. The motors weren't replaced in this video.
How about the signal generator? Where can I get one of those?
The serial bus GM class 2 is home made. But the generic signal generator can come from just about any place that sells multimeters.
So, what would be the charge to refurbish a 1995 F150 cluster?
I'm not equipped to service that old of a Ford cluster.
@@jeffescortlx Oh, Dang, my loss then, thank you.
I was looking to get your information so you can do a repair on my 2002 GMC Sierra cluster

Do you work on 1976 clusters?
Sorry no. 1999 is the oldest.
When will the dash be just like an Android tablet ?
I’m not able to get your email from the information provided
To access the video description information, click the down arrow to the bottom right of the video. My email address is at the bottom. Thank you.
Oh dear, there are cracks on every joint of that display.
Even Oil of Ulay can't smooth those cracks away lol.
I wonder if that product still exists lol.
If you want to really slow the needles down, inject vasolene in.
For smoothness it's moly grease.
ha ha yes im joking :-D
Its bacon fat :)
The only thing you have to watch out for, is not to use something that gets too thick when cold/frozen.
Looks to me like maybe someone was trying to roll it back.
Probably not. Eeproms just go corrupt from time to time. Typically when someone wants to roll back the odometer they will just get a junkyard/eBay cluster with the miles they want.
@@jeffescortlx I used to make them and I am aware of their limitations. Actually, save for simply wearing the cells out (EEs have write cycle endurance figures) it is not terribly easy to corrupt them. Unplugging the cluster in the middle of a write could do it.
@@btasler I understand. I see about 6 eeprom failures a year. The majority of the time they fail under normal use. Some of the times they've failed because the lines between the microprocessor and eeprom are damaged from self repair attempts.
My takeaway here is, this is NOT DIY territory! Leave this work to a pro like Jeff.
Can I get your email address, I have a gm gauge with issues
